jeff MayerSubject: creating xml from csv flat file - HELP!
Author: jeff Mayer

I am going a bit insane trying to figure this out.

I am trying to convert a flat file with CSV columnar data into an XML file using the enterprise package.


The CSV needs to be converted into something into the following XML format

<Shipment>
<OrderID>566067</OrderID>
<Name>SUSAN</Name>
<ShipMethod>UPS Ground Residential</ShipMethod>
<ShippedDate>5/7/2009</ShippedDate>
<Tracking>1ZE6F05703425246637</Tracking>
<Weight>3</Weight>
<Postage>0</Postage>
<Items>
<Item>
<SKU>R165</SKU>
<Lot></Lot>
</Item>
<Item>
<SKU>00824-SM</SKU>
<Lot></Lot>
</Item>
</Items>
</Shipment>

I am having trouble figuring out how to create the child nodes for Item and items which includes SKU and lot. This is the output I am producing thus far


<Shipment>
<OrderID>566067</OrderID>
<Name>SUSAN</Name>
<ShipMethod>UPS Ground Residential</ShipMethod>
<ShippedDate>5/7/2009</ShippedDate>
<Tracking>1ZE6F05703425246637</Tracking>
<Weight>3</Weight>
<Postage>0</Postage>
<SKU>R165</SKU>
<Lot></Lot>
<SKU>00824-SM</SKU>
<Lot></Lot>

</Shipment>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Ivan, but this I am not converting an XML to flat, its the other way around. Besides I am using the custom XML conversion portion. The link you sent me is some other method.

Please see attached which contains a source file, correctly generated xml file and the current conversion file.

It looks like that the target orderoutput_correct.xml has not been generated using orderoutput_sampledata.CSV as source.

Too many fields in target XML have value that cannot be found in the input CSV, for example OrderID, Name. ShipMethod seems some kind of computation of the columns Carrier and DeliveryService.

Could you clarify which column should be used as key to group a sequence of items into a shipment?

A custom conversion looks overkilling for such simple flat file.
The built-in CSV converter will do just fine.

Yes you are correct, the target orderoutput_correct.xml file was not generated using the orderoutput_sampledata.CSV file. The orderoutput_correct.xml file is a file that we are currently importing. My desire is to adhere to this format when creating the conversion.

As far as the missing fields, I will use a lookup table for the ShipMethod value and remap only partial fields. I only need the generate the fields in the orderoutput_correct.xml.

As far as the grouping of a shipment the data is based on the following.


<Shipment>
<OrderID>565492</OrderID> <!-- Reference -->
<Name>JANIE MORGAN</Name> <!-- Customer -->
<ShipMethod>UPS Ground Residential</ShipMethod> <!--- lookup table based on shipping method -->
<ShippedDate>5/7/2009</ShippedDate> <!--- Dateshipped, using date value--->
<Tracking>1ZE6F0570325248546</Tracking> <!--- TrackingNo --->
<Weight>2</Weight> <!--- set value at 0 always--->
<Postage>0</Postage> <!---ShipChg--->
<Items>
<Item>
<SKU>R162</SKU> <!--- Item --->
<Lot></Lot> <!--- blank --->
</Item>
<Item>
<SKU>R162</SKU> <!--- If Reference value the same then add 2nd item or QTYSHIP is greater then 1 then add a 2nd line like this -->
<Lot></Lot>
</Item>
<Item>
<SKU>2419-01</SKU>
<Lot></Lot>
</Item>
<Item>
<SKU>92537</SKU>
<Lot></Lot>
</Item>
<Item>
<SKU>S5520-3</SKU>
<Lot></Lot>
</Item>
</Items>
</Shipment>

If you can look at this I would certainly appreciate it.

The proposed query should provide a good starting point.

Please unzip the content in c:\temp you will get c:\Temp\maven\orderoutput

Open project.prj then open map.xquery

Hope this helps
